Blog It Out.

Blog It Out.

May 6, 2012

I’ve been blowing up on Twitter, and several people have made the suggestion to “blog it out.”  I think it’s time. I am not having a good go of it.  Nothing has gone well for a long time now, and it’s getting overwhelming.  I am twelve weeks pregnant with a 3 year old, a 1 year old, and an international… Read More

This Little Boy.

This Little Boy.

February 23, 2012

Three years ago, this boy made me a mom. He made this man a daddy. And over the past three years, he’s made us the luckiest parents alive. Happy Birthday to my sweet Ronan.  You bring smiles to every day.  I love you!

January 25, 2012

My oh my. It has been 22 days since my last blog post. I find it so frustrating when I go this long without blogging.  I find it to be such an outlet, and don’t realize how pent up I’m getting with thoughts and ideas and… blogs.  Until I stop, sit down, and write again.  I remember how good it… Read More

Goodbye 2011.

January 3, 2012

I wanted to write this on Sunday, but not much ever gets done on the weekends.  So here goes. My 2011 wrap-up of major events: Ronan played with Fox in the snow. I fell down the stairs. Ruby Kate was born. Ronan turned 2 years old. Ronan was evaluated and found to have a severe speech delay. Our family became… Read More
